We love Jehnny Beth at DeClunk HQ. The latest offering from the forthcoming album is ‘Obsession’. It’s full of that Jehnny Beth spirit, from the whispering intro, the hefty, threatening guitar, some proper drum bashing, building the tension until the explosive vocal finish. After hearing this you are surely going to grab a copy of the new album, out on the 29th of August, titled ‘You Heartbreaker, You’.
“’Obsession’ is the first song Johnny and I wrote together for this album,” Jehnny Beth says. “The lyrics ‘you heartbreaker, you’ gave the title to the album but, more than that, the song gave the album its tone. It is probably one of the most detailed tracks on the record. The song obviously deals with the subject of primal obsession. It has this spiralling repetitive tension to the point of explosion, going from a whispered confession to a gnarly scream in the blink of an eye, which was fun to make – imagine Tricky and Jonathan Davis making a song with Adam Jones from Tool!
In my head anyway.”
